President Donald Trump on Monday said that the Iran is "very complete" based on the extent of the American military impact on their armed capabilities.

"I think the ​war is very complete, pretty much. They have no navy, no communications, they’ve ​got no Air Force," he told CBS News ‌White ⁠House correspondent Weijia Jiang. He further stated that he believed the operation was ahead of schedule and that he "has no message" for the newly appointed supreme leader, Mojtaba Khamenei.

Trump initially called on the Iranian people to overthrow the regime, but later explored the prospects of a Kurdish invasion from Iraq. Neither development materialized and he has turned his efforts to stabilizing oil prices and trying to reopen trade through the Strait of Hormuz.

Various outlets have reported that Trump, gulf states, and Israeli officials are seeking an off-ramp from the conflict. Trump has also stated that he seeks Iran's unconditional surrender, leaving the American win condition in a state of uncertainty.
